It all depends on your neighbours and what it is you're looking for yourself.

Some will camp near people who'll sing all night and hate it, while the crowd next to you might love it and join in.

Just check yr weather for sat night Sunday morning and it looks horrific.

Hendrix will be exactly like Oxegen....

Ah jaysus. It's hardly as rough as oxegen was during its last three years ? As long as me tent isn't ransacked and there aren't killings left right and center I'm happy.

Ah I'm joking really! Hendrix is just probably the youngest of the five camps. I've spent a bit of time in there with friends and have had no issues. I usually stay in Wilde. But you've people in here saying Wilde's the worst and I'd never agree!

So really it's what you make it of it yourself, and if you're going with EP veterans you'll be fine!

I prefer accuweather's forecast at this point

Automated online forecasts should always be taken with a pinch of salt, usually based on one model run without an human intervention.

We'll have the latest high resolution models shortly, the Harmonie model run which goes as far as midday Saturday so far wasn't great but we'll have more info soon.

Easy Rod · 01-09-2016 04:54PM

Fcucking hell that's a lot of rain.

gooberish · 01-09-2016 05:02PM

Would anyone have a Google maps pin drop of the entrance to the green car park. Pretty please

Wooderson · 01-09-2016 05:04PM

Soz to mods if that pic breaches a rule. 30mm+ of rain in a couple hours is a mess however. I remember place cutting up pretty bad in '08 ( I think?) - this would be way worse.

declanleo · 01-09-2016 05:09PM

Got the capri sun's in a little shop in cabra near my yard. Whoop whoop

srm23 · 01-09-2016 05:12PM

heavy rain sat night would make the post close of main stage debauchery around the arena a nightmare

Usually stay in Joplin: never had a sniff of trouble and while the walk's a bit longer it's always 'interesting'.

Have to agree re joplin, always strikes me as an older crowd.

Useful.Idiot · 01-09-2016 05:31PM

no chance there'll be 30mm of rain

Penguin14 · 01-09-2016 05:38PM

Quick question..where do you have to show your ticket first?? Friends who have my ticket will be in there before me and are planning on coming out with the ticket to me. Will this work alright!?

Amirani · 01-09-2016 05:39PM

Which of the bus companies (BE, Marathon, Kavanagh's) is likely to involve the least queuing to get on a bus would you imagine?

Green is a bit of a strange one as it's so spread out and seems to change from year to year.

I reckon it's in or around here:

Arriving late Friday so aiming for the small Chaplin site just to the right of the wrist band exchange. Anyone stayed there?

Stayed there last year and opting for it again this year. Its only minutes further than Oscar Wilde without all the shenanigans. Not as far to carry stuff and want to be strategically close enough to the toilets but not too close for the inevitable early morning dash. Lol

This will work but allot of hassle if your friend isn't 100% dedicated in getting to you, you may end up waiting for quite a while.
If it were me personally I'd be going to all lengths to get the ticket today or beforehand.

Yes. Yoi swap tickets for wristbands at one of the entrances. They can come out and in when they have their wristbands. Just make sure they know which entrance you're at. or which carpark you came from

It's a pain in the arse doing it tomorrow for all involved.
Get them to leave it somewhere a shop or something in a envelope you can pick it up.

Its OK theres no need to be embarrassed, this is clearly a case of a temporary shift in the earth's tilt axis, the other people were hammered that's why they stayed upright.

Mince Pie · 01-09-2016 06:03PM

So are we attempting to try another Boardsie meet up this year?

gooberish · 01-09-2016 06:06PM
